I'm willing take any bets about Danks making his first turn in the rotation. Takers?

No one here has stated definitively that Danks will be in the rotation when the season starts. You, on the other hand, are the only one here stating definitively that he won't. This includes media outlets, the coaching staff, pretty much everyone involved in the situation. I mean, you are the one stating he hasn't' begun throwing off of a mound to back your position, even though two links and a few tweets have stated otherwise..

You're right in that there is no timetable. Plenty have said it could be longer. When the official team page mentions it, it gives it a pretty significanct amount of credence.

I'm taking exception to someone calling me a liar because I raised the possibility. Because it is pretty likely. And it's not coming from no where. And calling me a liar for it is a personal attack.

They said "could mean." You changed it to "probably." Those are very different, i.e., "It's getting cloudy, that could mean rain" is not the same as "it's getting cloudy, it will probably rain." "Could be" acknowledges a possibility. "Probably" means more likely than not.

Yet another new argument. Missing the first turn is not the same as missing the first month.

"The White Sox will be very careful to ensure Danks stays strong throughout the season, which could mean not breaking camp with the team even if he's ready"

From the White Sox OFFICIAL SITE.

From a link in this ****ING thread.

The MINIMUM if he doesn't break camp with the team to start the season, since he'd have to be DL'd, is 15 games. A month is not a ****ING STRETCH. To call me a liar for saying it's likely he'll miss about a month is ****ING PREPOSTEROUS AND NOTHING BUT ****ING PERSONAL BULL****.

That's from two days ago. 2/12/2013 6:50 P.M. ET, to be precise. He threw off a mound today. Hey, if there's a news story out there that says "John Danks may not be able to throw off a mound for 2 months" from a week ago, and he threw off a mound today, which is true?

It's not personal. You just won't admit you are currently incorrect, which seems to be frustrating people/logic.
